Reborn: Revenge of the Concubine's Daughter

Chapter 138 Who led the soldiers to there?

Feng Yan and Feng Yu looked at each other for a long time. At last, Feng Yu suddenly had an idea and explained, “The Wudang Sect doesn’t accept female disciples, but she disguised herself as a man and became the junior fellow apprentice of my Young Lord!’’ After hearing this, He Danggui laughed but didn’t speak. What was the matter with Ling Miaoyi? Why did she make the two men be so panic?

Actually, what Feng Yan and Feng Yu said could be considered half-true. This matter also started from the time that Ling Miaoyi ran away from home and met He Danggui.

At that time, Ling Miaoyi was cheated to go back to Yinma Town by her brother-in-law Gao Jue with Duan Xiaolou as the “bait”. She waited for Gao Jue to bring Duan Xiaolou to meet her. However, she waited for a long time, and they didn’t come. After a few days, the silver was becoming scarce. It was a common thing for the rich young lady like her to come out with silver and went home without silver. But this time, she didn’t want to go back to the lonely home of Ling’s Mansion in the capital. The First Madam Li was ruthless and usually persecuted others. Her father was partial to First Madam Li and often scolded her. Besides, he married several coquettish concubines. The concubines made her be angry.

Afterwards, she sneaked into Baisha Mountain Villa of the secret stronghold of the imperial guide. She heard that Duan Xiaolou was about to go to Yangzhou City for a business and teach in Chengxu Academy, so she pawned the valuable things and got a hundred liang silver for the journey to Yangzhou. Originally, 100 liang silver was enough for an ordinary family of five to live for 20 years. However, as a First Miss, she spent it a few days in a waste way, and the last few valuable clothes and package were stolen by a thief. It was difficult to live without money away from home. Ling Miaoyi lived a miserable life without money. Later, she heard that there were free steamed buns in the back door of Luo’s Mansion, so she went to the alley to wait. Before waiting until the steamed buns, she met Feng Yan and Feng Yu. Each of them bit a stick of sugar-coated haws and walked into Luo’s Mansion. They were talking and laughing, which surprised her.

It turned out that Ling Miaoyi didn’t know Feng Yang or Ning Yuan, but she knew Chang Nuo, who lived next door to her. Ling’s Mansion was beside Chang’s Mansion. Ling Miaoyi and Chang Nuo were similar in age and family background, so they often meet in the celebrity social circle of the capital. Ling Miaoyi not only knew Chang Nuo, but also was very familiar with Chang Yan and Chang Yu, who were his lackeys. She played tricks on the two seemingly interesting lackeys several times. A year ago, Chang Nuo went to study and took away Chang Yan and Chang Yu. Apart from going back to Chang’s Mansion for two days at the festivals, she couldn’t see them usually. How did these two lackeys of Chang Nuo get into Luo’s Mansion? Was Chang Nuo in Luo’s Mansion for study?

Therefore, Ling Miaoyi rushed to asked Chang Yan and Chang Yu. Of course, the main purpose was to borrow money from Chang Nuo. At first, Feng Yan and Feng Yu lied to her that they had stopped following Chang Nuo. Now they had changed their ideas to choose a new master, and they didn’t know where Chang Nuo was.

Ling Miaoyi didn’t believe them. Feng Yan and Feng Yu followed Chang Nuo when they were young. They were lackeys of Chang Nuo. One month ago, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chang Nuo hurriedly back to Chang’s Mansion with Chang Yu, but he left in a hurry within half a day. At that time, Ling Miaoyi wondered about that they might have to go to two places for a festival. Thought of this, Ling Miaoyi held Chang Yan and Chang Yu and insisted on meeting Chang Nuo. Of course, her purpose was to borrow money – She was destitute and wandered in a strange land. How lucky it was to suddenly meet rich acquaintances!

Feng Yan and Feng Yu were perplexed and took a look at each other. One of them led her to a place where nobody was. And he lied to calm her down. The other hurriedly informed Ning Yuan and fake Feng Yang that the acquaintance of his Childe in the capital met them. Now the acquaintance thought that his Childe lived in Luo’s Mansion and wanted to borrow money from him.

Ning Yuan thought about it and asked Ming Yue to prepare a bag of silver to Feng Yu, who would give the silver to Chang Nuo’s acquaintance. At the same time, he asked Feng Yu to tell that person that Chang Nuo would leave Luo’s Mansion immediately and did not to come to Luo’s Mansion to find Chang Nuo again. As soon as Feng Yu left, Ming Yue advised his master that they should leave as soon as possible because Luo’s Mansion was no longer a safe refuge. After all, Chang Nuo had never been to Luo’s Mansion, and people in Luo’s Mansion didn’t recognize Chang Nuo. If that person often came here to find Chang Nuo and revealed accidentally the secret that “Feng Yang is Chang Nuo, and Chang Nuo pretends to be Feng Yang”, how could they do?

Ning Yuan hesitated after hearing this. In the past, if he had heard this, he would have left firstly and found another place for healing. But now… He hadn’t understood the girl’s secret yet. Besides, the girl asked him to practice and heal in the Bitter Bamboo Grove after two days. It was interesting to think of it…

Seeing his master in such a dazed and bewildered state, Ming Yue felt bad, so he got out of the Mansion to see Ming Ri and discussed about countermeasures with him.

Ming Ri and he were both the fearless warriors of Lord. They had been taking care of Wuying Tower for Lord. A few days ago, Chang Nuo came to Daning Drill Ground with the Lord’s face and helped the Lord to attend the maneuver. He was excellent and could stop at where it should while fighting. His kung fu had won a great plaudit. When Ming Ri was very relieved that Feng Yang pretended the Lord, Chang Nuo ran in a panic and said that he let the cat out of the bag. He strolled in the Lord’s Mansion just now. And when he went to Jiu Lan Yard, he drank tea and played Go with Song You. Because he had drunk tea several times with Song You in the capital before, he thought he would not be revealed. But after just a cup of tea and one round of playing Go, Song You called him “Mr. Chang” unexpectedly! Chang Nuo was dejected. He scratched his head and asked Ming Ri what to do now.

In the usual situation, Ming Ri would immediately murder her. But Ming Ri knew that Song You was the tea partner, fellow Go player and confidant of the Lord. So, he didn’t dare to make a decision without permission. Then he hurried to Yangzhou City overnight. He needed to ask the Lord if Song You could stay and also cared about the condition of Lord’s injury.

Unexpectedly, after meeting Ming Yue in the teahouse outside the Mansion, Ming Ri knew that the Lord would not leave although Luo’s Mansion was no longer safe because of a wicked girl. After that, Ming Yue told Ming Ri about the thing that the Lord cured the wicked girl twice with internal injury. After hearing this, Ming Ri immediately decided that he must try to force the Lord to leave Luo’s Mansion and stay away from the wicked girl.

Even after the event, the Lord would know that he did something and want to commit a crime to him. He would receive punishment. In a word, he could not let the Lord get lost in his mind and be blocked the way to the success by some common women. Ming Ri had always believed that the Lord was the one who did great things and was the most qualified to be the emperor!

Therefore, this evening, the one who designed to lead the soldiers to surround Luo’s Mansion was not as Nie Chun who escaped with a poisonous arrow and might be dead. Instead, the one was Ming Ri who was loyal for his master. Of course, he didn’t use the excuse that a seignior had left his fief and came to Yangzhou City. After all, his real purpose was to make the Lord feel the danger of the Luo’s Mansion. Then the Lord would leave the Luo’s Mansion as soon as possible, instead of exposing the Lord’s secret really.

According to Wuying Tower’s tip-off from Ming Ri, Wei Hong, the Governor of Yangzhou City, embezzled the relief funds allocated by the Imperial Court. After the incident was exposed, he absconded with two confidential military geographical maps. Now he was the No. 1 felon of the Imperial Court. So, Ming Ri sent a believable fake message to the heeler of Han Fei, the Senior Governor of Yangzhou City. He said that someone saw Wei Hong escaped into East Yard (of Luo’s Mansion), which led Han Fei to surround East Yard (of Luo’s Mansion), and then a series of things happened.

This time, Geng Bingxiu had nothing to do with the search of Mansion by the soldiers, but Geng Bingxiu had a guilty conscience. First, he seized Madam Luo, and then he suffered an anesthetic herb of He Danggui, which could make him sleep for three days. Geng Bingxiu broke his tongue and used the potential powers of his essential energy. He knew that he could not stay in Luo’s Mansion anymore, so he jumped out of the wall and killed a group of the soldiers. Then he escaped.

However, Han Fei, the Senior Governor of Yangzhou City outside Luo’s Mansion, believed that the masked man who killed the soldiers was Wei Hong, so he went to Luo’s Mansion to ask their reason of hiding the criminal that the Emperor wanted to arrest. However, before the Madam Luo explained, Duan Xiaolou immediately testified that Luo’s Mansion was not on the masked man’s side. Just now, the villain kidnapped the Madam Luo and intended to threaten the soldiers with her life to retreat. Then, Shizi of Earl Baoding, First Master of Guan’s Mansion, and others all testified that the Luo’s Mansion was also the victim.

After hearing those, Han Fei thought that he had not informed Luo’s Mansion before, and he suddenly surrounded Luo’s Mansion with the soldiers, making people be panic. Now he wronged Luo’s Mansion for hiding the fugitive, which was really not right. At that time, he offered tea to Madam Luo and apologized again and again.

People in Luo’s Mansion were very proud of getting personally apologized by the Senior Governor. Therefore, a disaster turned into a lucky event. They even held a family dinner for three days. First, it was to celebrate the Madam Luo turned calamities into blessings. Second, it was to celebrate the honor of Luo’s Mansion. Third, it was to celebrate Sun Yanbin was success in the imperial examination, who was the Second Madam Sun’s half-brother. He got the Second Place at Liberal Arts Test and the Third Place at Martial Arts Test. In this way, East Yard (of Luo’s Mansion) was very busy. Everybody was happy. But it was what happened later and was unnecessary to go into details.

At present, Feng Yan and Feng Yu thought that He Danggui didn’t believe what they said. Besides, she didn’t promise them that she would never talk to Ling Miaoyi that two menservants called “Feng” Yan and “Feng” Yu used to visit Luo’s Mansion. So, they were very anxious, and they talked with He Danggui constantly. The spittle sprayed. And He Danggui had to take out the gauze as a veil was on the face.

Tonight, she was so shocked that her head was like hurt by a pinprick. And she just used 50% internal force to attack that man. She felt wrong at that time. Now she found that the Zhenqi in her body was the same as before, and it couldn’t go back from Dantian. Now, it made her channel become very uncomfortable. She almost wore out. She wanted to go back and have a good sleep.

Therefore, she didn’t want to stay in the dark garden and consider whether to avenge herself on Ning Yuan. She turned around and went to Tao Yao Yard. Although she answered Feng Yan and Feng Yu perfunctorily, they were still not very satisfied. And they kept pestering her and tried to force her to swear that she would never let it out… Swear? He Danggui sneered. If it worked, how could there be so many treacherous people in the world! At that year, that man swore that he would never leave her and never give up her. And he swore that he would always believe everything she said. But in the end, he chose to believe Zhou Jinglan and abandon her. What was the use of those damn oaths?

He Danggui felt dizzy and nauseous. Every part of her body was tingling, aching, cold and numb. She was eager to fall into her bed and have a sleep at once. However, the two menservants were imposing on her. She couldn’t get rid of them. The voice was more annoying than the fly.

When He Danggui went to Tao Yao Yard, she was surprised to find a large wet area on the flower path at the gate of the yard. Under the moonlight, she couldn’t distinguish what kind of liquid it was. Thinking of the mask of an assassin, who would suck human blood, still hanged in her room this afternoon, He Danggui suddenly trembled. Then she was running and shouting, “Chan Yi! Huai Hua! Buo He, Dou Jiang, Qian Shi!”

Fortunately, the Immortal heard her prayer and didn’t abandon her. After a few calls, Chan Yi came out of the door alive, and her mouth was oily and bright. Next, Xiaoyou came out. Then Peng Shi and Peng Jian came out.
